Alan, you don’t realise what a godsend your vids are….
I’m an Aussie Mental Health nurse & just had the most horrendous day . Felt like crying when I got home. The last 2 years are taking their toll.
Watching your vids are my MH therapy ❤️
After watching this vid all the days stress dissipated. Felt like I was there.
Thanks again and big kiss for Blue. What a bonza he is 😉
That is just an inspiration for me!!! I’m so glad I can help reduce that stress for you. A hug for you anytime my friend 👍
GhostBusterTrace,
I'm feeling for you.
I worked as a mental health nurse here in the U.K for 10 years and that was enough of a commitment to it for me.
A worthy rewarding profession, but nothing is worth you getting burnt out and unwell. As you know, once you get burnt out, it can take months, if not years to recover.
Please take good care of yourself. Blessings and best wishes to you.. 🙏💚
Thanks for taking me on yet another nice adventure, even if only via the camera. I love seeing all the lovely scenery.
I enjoy taking everyone😊
You need to get a kayak that will fit Blue. Bless him ❤
I like the idea of using big bags to carry out stuff from a kayak to a campsite. So simple, yet I haven't thought of it. I usually used my hiking backpack to move things from the car to the kayak. And I had to make numerous trips between the kayak and every campsite on a route.
Miss my water adventures. Thanks for the great video!
Happy Monday
Perfect timing.. can’t wait to watch this. Thanks
Thank you Allen, I can see that you enjoy your activities and your life! This is so important these days! Many greetings from Germany Viola
I do try! It’s a short life so enjoy what you can. 👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ❤👍
What a beautiful place! such a fun experience!
Epic…..that spare bit of space in your tent was Blue shaped 😁
😂 I know it was🥰
Spot on video Alan, the kayak looks brilliant, perfect for touring etc, derwentwater is our favourite out of all the lakes we've been on paddleboarding and kayaking, and it was the first lake we paddled on too. Stunning surroundings, and when its still in the morning it is amazing, looks like you lot had a great camp on the island 👌. Nice one, atb Mick 👍
Yes it’s a lovely place and camping was perfect 👍👍👍
This immediately brought back memories of hammocking on the northern shore of Loch Morar up Mallaig about six years ago. That 180 degree bechfront mountain view. Just slightly bigger mointains. Thanks mate.
Nice place. The beaches there are unreal👊
What a beautiful trip. Your new kayak glides along so beautifully and you look quite comfortable in it. Congratulations. Always a thrill to get a new boat.
Yes I’m well happy with it😊
Kayak wildcamping. Not a title I was expecting, but entertaining and fun video mate.👍
Thanks mate just a different method of transport to get me into a tent👍😂
Another beauty vid Al. The scenery , the guys , your cool new kayak, just awesome mate. Your video photograpy is keeps getting better. Thanks for letting us join you . Looking forward to the next adventure.Cheers from B.C.
Thanks buddy. Really I was testing out how to film and if my camera mounts that I made work. I was quite happy with the footage👍
Lovely video...thank you for caring about the trees on the island 😊
Yes some people have no care which is a shame in such beautiful places.
I missed Blue 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Thanks Al just playing catch up between jobs, bought a big smile to my face see this. Great content as always, we had hoped to go here in July but I think it's getting a lot busier than 25 years ago. Great to see it's not destroyed I heard it was a bit of a toilet a few years back. Looking forward to seeing you paddling again. I am told Scotland's west coast is the place to go. To far for me on the south coast. Take it easy cheers Chris
Yes I’ll be heading there soon to make some videos. I’m looking forward to it.
Thanks mate👊
Brilliant.
😁👍 Great video Al.. A change from the normal and by the looks it, you haven't lost any kayak skills, especially on the choppy waters. Good to see you left nesting birds in piece. And how you helped the paddle boarder always called for rescue lately.. 👍 Hope to see more kayak adventures this summer and looking forward to relieving my hoodie and midlayer soon as there on their way 😁
Yes I hope to get out on some interesting water soon. Enjoy the Merch buddy 👊
You’ve just blown my mind, we literally stayed in that exact spot on Saturday! First camping vid I’ve watched since and it’s the same spot 😄 Must of just missed you lads.
Glad yous had a good camp we absolutely loved ours and great video as always!
Thanks mate. Shame we missed you👊
YES! Video on a Monday! Perfect to kickstarter the week. New kayak is looking fantastic, great choice, looking forward to seeing more adventures, maybe even on Bassenthwaite, the only lake in the lake district! Great stuff. Epic scenery and filming.
Yes I tile the boys that and they didn’t believe me so I googled it for them😉👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE it's a useless bit of general knowledge that I store in my brain!
Cracking trip that mate getting out on the waters and chilling out on the islands looking forward to seeing the upcoming trips your goin to being doin in the kayak
Yes loads of ideas😉
That looked so much fun, there is something about water which I find so calming. Can you please make something for Blue so that he can go on the adventures with you........I missed seeing him, I love him to bits!!
On very flat water possibly but I won’t risk him🥰
Great video. You did a good job balancing the action/music shots with the close up talking shots. Felt like it flowed really well, and the time flew by whilst I was watching it.
Well I’m hoping that I’ll be able to make some good kayak videos. This was the test run👊
Really enjoyed that video Al, even though I missed blue I took my hydra out on its maiden voyage to last weekend and stayed at waterside on ullswater it was great fun with my son can't wait till he's more used to his kayak and we can start our adventures while he's still young, after watching your vid he says dad we gotta go and do that keep up the work you really do make people get out and live life 👍
Brilliant mate! Glad it helps inspire the younger ones too. Great boat👌
It looks like a perfect campsite for you guys
It was a special place to camp👌
Very beautiful there on kayak. You doing great, Yaaaaaa
Stunning adventure and location. Epic Al. 👌
Cheers buddy 👌👍
Wonderful video as always Al. Great adventure had by all on the water. We’re off to lakes next weekend for 3 nights, cannot wait.
Brilliant mate enjoy. I might be there too👍👍👍
❤️ your content.
Thank you😊
Have started to follow your channel. I'm a Swede living on the west coast of Sweden. I have two dogs. We are the ones searching for lost dogs and cats. People pay us for doing that. We often search several cats every week. Very often I have to say no to people because our capacity is much lower than the demand. My dogs are trained trailing dogs. That means I present them a smeller that smells mainly of the animal we are going to search. Then the dogs follow just the smell of the animal and don't care about other smells. That means they are trained in discrimination of smells. I'm retired so the dogs are with me mostly 24/7. When it comes to kayaking I have had a problem. I have an old kayak I bought where I can have one dog. However now-a-days I have 2 dogs. One Flat coated retriever with 40 kilos and a Belgian Tervueren with 30 kilos. Before I have not found any other solution than to use a canoe which I have a composite wooden one that is very beautiful but it is a canoe. It is often windy on the Swedish west coast and then a canoe is not very much fun. I have 2 real sea kayaks but they will not let you bring a Medium/large dog. However I found some time ago a good solution. I think I will sell my kayaks and the canoe and get this new Norwegian one. I don't like the moulded PVC kayaks. They are heavy and age rather fast because of the uv-light from the sun. Here is a link to what I think is the best solution for us dog owners. stockholmkajak.se/glasfiberkajaker/nansen-hundkajaken
Awesome mate! Love that you have well trained dogs that have an important job to do. It’s amazing how clever dogs are. I’ll definitely check the link out as I’d love to take him although I also love designing and making things too😉👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure! I've been looking forward all day to watching this. 10/10! You've given me so much inspiration to camp on a island.
Last week I swam from the jetty to St Herbert Island and back. I was really curious about the island. Next time I'll get out and venture and next year I'll take my kayak out. Now that I've seen your kayak I have total envy! 😂
Thanks for the inspiring me and many others. You are a star Alan!
I missed seeing Blue! Hope he's ok.
Thanks mate. Nice swim out for you. You could swim and camp😉
Great video as always! That sky… nature’s beauty! Hope blue hasn’t got alerts on TH-cam and notices you’ve gone out without him!😊😊😊😊 love the kayak too!
That sky was definitely one of the best😬. Blue is with my dad if he isn’t with me so he’s on his own adventures 😉👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ah he’s in good hands then😊😊😊
Definitely 👌👊
What a lovely vid Al, thoroughly enjoyed watching you and the boys enjoy the water. As much as I missed Blue, the return crossing would have been impossible with him balancing onboard. 👍👌👊
Yes on very flat water it will be a possibility to take blue but safety first😉👍
Great video, I purchased a Dagger Stratos 14.5 a couple of months ago and not had the chance to use it yet due to work, a mate and myself discussed going on Derwent and after watching this how can we not go .
Thanks for showing us what a great place it is. 👍
Nice boat😉. You definitely need to get out and use it👊
Really love the Kayak it's gonna bring good times. Gonna Kayak and paddle board here this year thanks for the inspiration.
Yes it’s a great place to play👍
Love those Derwent Islands, done a bit of wild swimming in the lake and explored the Islands. The lake is surprisingly shallow, there's several places you can stand up a fair way from the shore, especially in summer.
Cat bells looked very dry and brown too, unusual for this time of year.
Yes some places were really shallow enough to walk on water😂.
Really nice, - as always 'stunnin'.
Thank You and keep them coming
Thanks
Great to see the maiden voyage I rekon a sea loch adventure around the hebridies 👌 it’ll be in its element there and definitely some stunning scenery to be had, maybe a cheeky orca encounter to add to the buzz.
Yes I have some plans up that way. Very exciting 😬😬😬
I love your content and how in tune with nature you are which leads me to say I was very surprised to see you on the islands at bird breeding time!!
Well the island we stayed on had no birds at all because it’s used that often. I thought the others might be similar but nature lived there instead👍
I camped on kinder scout on easter weekend and a bloke with a dog (not on a lead and not even obedient and didnt listen to him) pulled me in the morning saying "that was a bad place to camp, curlews nest here" he had a badge on that I couldn't make out but I thought he must have been with the national park authority or summat. I said I wasn't aware of the birds and if I'd known I wouldn't have camped there. He then said "You do know wildcamping's illegal don't you" to which I replied yeah of course but it's tolerated isnt it above the highest fence or wall and I always leave no trace.
I then hastened to tell him his dog was about 50 yards away, (he was oblivious...too busy lecturing me....) and not on a lead to which he said "I know dogs don't help either 😂) he followed me all the way down the hill and just to make him question his righteousness lol I picked up every bit of litter and put it in a carrier bag, and you get quite a bit at Easter on kinder with day trippers that don't really understand the rules.
Not saying owt bad about dogs btw and Blue's probably twice as smart as me 😂 super obedient and well trained, It was the only way I could have a nibble back at him.
Big lake, kayaking is a great upper body workout. Beautiful countryside.
Yes it pretty much uses all the muscles especially if you paddle backwards as well at times👍
Excellent Camp Al! The canoe setup was impressive !
Cheers Steve. This kayak will take me far😬
Great vid. Great message. Many thanks
No broccoli ...
I like that camera I’m behind you it shows like when you on the kayak shows the nature and where you going it’s pretty cool
Yes I made a camera mount to try get some nice angles 👍
What an adventure Al, something really magical about camping on an island only accessible by canoe. Looking forward to seeing canoe trips featured in future episodes, maybe the Caledonian canal?
I’ll be hitting the sea and exploring the coastline soon hopefully 👍
Great vid Al with another toy to add to your list!!! . Nice to see the UK springtime in its glory.
Ey up Heath👊. It’s definitely a nice time of year but you won’t miss it over there😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ✈️ booked and will be up your way in August. 👊
Well you never know we might get to meet👊
Love cat bells, very nice
I had the pleasure of meeting you on the island, beautiful place to stay, great video mate
It was a pleasure meeting you. Such a lovely place to be👍👍👍
Great video. Really inspiring. Missed Blue😎
Thanks and yes he is always missed🥰
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Kayak looks awesome!! Loved the drone footage how it followed you! Brilliant! Another great hour’s viewing. Cheers Al 👍🛶🏕
I confess I gave it to a mate to control for a minute. My drone doesn’t track as it’s so small. 😉👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUEa great idea then as it looked brilliant
Top quality film, and made me feel like I was really there.
The atmosphere on Derwentwater and the island seems fantastic, peaceful and soothing. Quite right to leave the nesting birds alone.
Just an idea; you dog is blue, so you could call your Kayak, "Green".
Thanks Mike. It’s such a pleasure being out on the water somewhere so peaceful in the ‘green’👍👍👍
Absolutely stunning Al. The Mrs said I can't have everything you've got 😂
😂 I’ll have a word with her😂😂😂👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUEYou need to mate just don't tell her the price 😂
😂
Great channel, enjoyable video's.
Nice one Al. Been on that Island a few times with my Open canoe. Thats two people you have helped recently, well done. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍
Thanks mate. Yea it’s a lovely place but very busy it seems. I’ll keep helping whoever needs help😂👍
Nice video the views are amazing 😻 the things we creators do to keep out viewers happy!!
Thanks. It keeps me happy😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE so happy you get motivation from your videos
Top trip mate awesome 😎
Thanks buddy 👊
Cant beat the ikea bag..Top video
Great video as always, thankyou so much for sharing, My 7yr old daughter who always watches your videos with me suggested the name Vivian or Vivianite a rare green crystal stone said to represent healing, awareness, gentleness and peace, a connection with nature, meaning true beauty. 🌿
Wow that’s clever. Great suggestion. I’m glad you watch together 😊
Shiver me timbers Captain Al.. now that was different pal and looked to be another great adventure. great to see that you got your new toy and enjoying it already.. thanks is for sharing another great video and you appear to be enjoying the Lanshan tent which is good to see considering its budget friendly and lightweight. those 2 dont normally come in the same package. keep up the good work Al. take care
Cheers Andy lad. Loving the kayak and looking forward to the next one👊
What beautiful areas. More canoe videosssssssss🎉
When ain’t your videos good, well done Al another brilliant one. Must say I cannot wait to see Blue Dog on the water. ---👍old man
Cheers Dan. On very flat water I think it might be possible with Blue👍
Enjoyed that :) missed Blue 💙 as I'm sure you did too :) ☘️ now then here we are ..... Another great adventure thks
Cheers buddy 👍
That was an excellent trip. Really enjoyed that Al your kayak looked great 👍. That kind of trip is always good with friends who appreciate it like you do. Very cool footage be safe my friend ✌️ I'm sure Blue wasn't happy about being left out of trip you in trouble....lol
Yes always nice with friends to share those experiences with. Blue was with my dad so he’s be well happy😂
The way you express yourself
Describes just how I feel when iam in the toilet.
Lovely,aahh.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video mate, I'm up there tomorrow night with my kayak and hammock 👍
Enjoy mate👌👍👍👍
What a coincidence - I ve been to the Lake district once and Cat Bells is the only hill I've gone up and I loved the views as you say they are special. I camped in the campsite on the Derwent waters edge.
Thanks for the video, I missed the dog though :0 ] woof woof.
It’s a great walk👌. Nice place to camp too.
I love watching but the only thing missing is blue you need to make a little side that blue could go that he’s save in thank you for the vlogs i love to watch you and blue on your adventures 💜
I know but safety first. I’ll never risk him. I think I’ll be able to sort him on very flat water though👍
That looked so peaceful out there on the water & what an amazing place to camp, I thought it would be a bit too tricky for blue to accompany you.
On very flat water it will be a possibility but safer to not. Thanks Julie. It was very peaceful 👌
Brilliant Video! Our fav lake is Ullswater but we’re going to give this place a go next time😎
Yes I love Ullswater 👌
Another great video, Al in a spot with which I am familiar. I think Derwentwater is the best lake in the district surrounded by mountains.
Thanks bud. A lovely place although I’m looking forward to the sea 😉
What a fabulous trip. I've just had a vision of Blue sitting in front of you saying "stroke, stroke, stroke..." 😂
😂😂😂 that’s a dad joke I’m impressed😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE HAHA! Feel free to use it. I'm definitely not at "dad".
You made some beautiful footage there. I'll probably watch it again this evening and certainly this week.
Has to be 'Green Goddess' surely!! Looked to be three great days messing about on the water, and I share your frustration with those idiots among us who don't/can't respect nature. Great film, looking forward to watching your next adventure.
Thanks buddy. Green goddess isn’t a bad shout.
Great vlog Al were going to Keswick next week kayak etc we love the lakes and mountains. but we did miss your 4 legged friend he is awesome. the beautiful Blue
Enjoy. Hopefully you get good weather👍
Bloody hell Al watching you on the Kayak was like something out of Grand theft Auto then the night vision came out 🤣 nice one proper camp too under the tarp with rain and fire 🔥
😂😂😂. That night vision/heat scope is awesome. I want one😬
Arranged my ashes spreading on that lake...
On a lighter note..so glad ive found and subscribed to your channel.
The good news is I will be watching as much of the back catalogue over xmas as I can.
Cheers (.Dec.22).
Brilliant Dave👍. Great place for your ashes👌👊👊👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I won't bang on...but you have inspired me Al to get more of a can do attitude..do things in general on an active basis...more gym..longer dog walks..local trail group etc.
Live in Australia now.. but get to the Lakes everytime I return...there so much more than the touristy bits isnt there!!
Have a great 2023, and hope your channel goes from strength to strength cobber.
That’s ace! Keep positive as much as possible and keep getting out there. It’s a short life we all need to make more of 👊
Another stunning video. Everything you put out is so professional and totally absorbing. You even managed to save a life. Again! Just one thing missing. The main man. OK I understand you want to get a feel of your new transport and you can't just stuff him in the hold but Bushman without Blue is like Batman without Robin.
😂 yes he is the main man. Thank you mate. I will always put the effort in and try keep the standard high for my videos👍
Well done on the video mate again! Kayak is great and love the mods you have made to it. Beautiful lake too. Kayak should be called "Rush" after Rush Sturges the accomplished American whitewater kayaker! Keep up the great content mate and stay safe.
Thanks mate 👍. I’ll have to look up Rush. My surname is Bush so luckily I wasn’t named Rush😂
Fantastic video Al. The new yak got a good thorough test too. It looks great! I must get mine out again. It's been too long.
Yes it’s easy to let them gather dust. Definitely get her out
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I shall. The missus has just got a paddle board so no excuse now!
Definitely 😉
What a brilliant video right up my street great location. Kayak looks the business. All the best Cheers. B. K ps missed Blue.
Thanks bud 👊
24:50 ... O.M.G! Absolutely beautiful spot man, I may take my son there! Also holy crap, the kayak really kicks canoe ass in terms of pace! I love my canoe, but something to be said about pace....!
Yes it was stunning mate👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Great video bud, good change !
I think a river run for us two will be good👍. We will have to make a new plan. 😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Yeah I'm down for a river plan, sounds good 👊
You could've collected the water off the tarp at camp. It's proper bonny there. What a spot. What a set of idiots attacking those trees, some folk aren't wired. I like your camera rig that was behind you. Great video that Alan thanks for posting. I now have boats in my head.
Thanks mate. The camera mount took some designing but I eventually sorted it and it seems to work really well. You’ll have to buy a kayak😉
Wow. No wonder you wanted a kayak! How can you bear not to use it every day? It was interesting to see your part of the world at a different altitude. The scenery was beautiful, and that sunset was stunning.
😂 yes it’s definitely a pleasure being in it. Very calming although in rough seas you have to focussed😂
look at you sport nice new Kayak I wonder if you do video on the specs and features of it plus with kayak you can paddle both ways wow you leaving me missing my younger days on the rapids 👌 a hint they make wax you can apply to hull and it makes it glide on water no resistants you will notice speed from it fast excellent video good luck with your new kayak stay safe( its great to have toys)
Yes it’s nice to be back out kayaking. I’ll check out the wax👌👍👍👍
Great vid ! Boating bushcraft 🤣 Andy Wardle will be paddling up the river Tyne 🤣 The island looked great 👍
Thanks mate. Yes it’s an amazing place to camp👌
Awesome vid Al! Love me a bit of kayaking! I'd love to get a pack raft or similar and go on these sorts of camps - it's on my (very) long list of gear to buy lol! ATB 👧&🐕
That list never gets smaller😂 no matter how much you buy. Great way to travel 👍
What a great Video Al. Makes me miss my kayaking days. Have you got much planned with regards to sea kayaking? I did an expedition round north Wales and that was fantastic. Would recommend!!
Yes it’s on my list. Anglesey😉👌
Nice to start on Derwent, go downstream to Bassenthwaite, then carry on down to Workington, out to sea then finish at St Bees.
Yes it’s possible but apparently the river isn’t for boat access. I prefer trips like that👌
nice vid mate
dude you need to come to pembrokeshire, I will show you so super cool stuff. Love your films.. So happy you upped the game by getting into sea kayaks..
I just love kayaking and camping so combined is just perfection👍👌
Your videos are uplifting Al…missed beautiful Blue, but understand 🦋
I miss him too🥰
Great Video again Al🧔 .. Loving your New Kayak only one thing missing for me was the one and only Blue🐺 .. All the Best Al🧔 from Tommy Yorkshire ..😊👍 PS I'm sure there will be some with you and Blue🐺 💖🧔 In the future Al .
It’s just another mode of transportation to get me in a tent😉. Blue is always missed.
Very cool spot for the maiden voyage. Looked like good Craig. Great messages to people watching but don't know when to move on to another spot because of nesting birds & explaining about green wood being no good for fires.
I guess some people just don’t know so at least it might help their thoughts on it all👍
Class video Alan mate 👍
Me and my wife watch all your videos...
We missed Blue in this one but are looking forward to whatever you make to attach to your Kayak so he can join the water adventures 👌...
We think your Kayak should be called She-Hulk 👍...
Yes we are Marvel fans lol...
Keep the class videos coming mate... We absolutely love them 😊
😂 definitely a hulk👌. Thanks guys I’m glad you watch together😊👍
Still got my Palm Extrem river vest too. Great kit 👍
Yes I’ve had it since Uni 24 years ago😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE same mate 1998 I got mine. Still got a Necky Gliss. Not been out for ages though 😆👍
I was looking at getting a new one but it’s pretty good for what I need
@@BUSHMANandBLUE looked at the newer versions and there’s nowt too them. They’re like bra’s these days. 😆. I don’t thing we’ll find anything better. I’d rather have the padding for rivers like the Tryweryn. Still LOADS of freedom of movement in it and a brilliant pocket and harness system. 👍
You got lucky with Rampsholme island. I landed my paddle board there about a month ago and there were nesting birds everywhere. An angry swan then blocked my path back to my board!
Yes there should be signs on that one to say stay off.
Nice Vid Al. We were at Keswick this past week and spotted a Kayak and canoes setting out, justabout where you set off from. But that was on Monday 23rd so I can't imagine you edited this epic trip so quickly? I got some cracking shots of the sunset that night. ATB
No mate it was the Tuesday before. It’s a lovely place for a sunset getting the light bouncing off the water. 👍
Great to see you in a kayak, more fun than getting blown off a mountain in a gale
Yes I love it👌
That looks mint mate.
Godda give it a blast and do a camp out.
I bet Blue is a bit peaved off you left him.
Crackin vid.
Cheers Al..
Thanks buddy. Blue was with my dad so he’s well happy😉👍
